Ryugujo Spa Hotel Mikazuki Fujimitei, hotel in Kisarazu, Japan
Ryugujo Spa Hotel Mikazuki Fujimitei is a spa hotel in Kisarazu, sitting on the shore of Tokyo Bay with thermal baths available both indoors and outdoors. The rooms and the Japanese dining area face the sea, and fresh seafood is central to the food served on site.
The hotel was founded as part of the growth of coastal resort destinations around Tokyo Bay during Japan's postwar prosperity. The area around Kisarazu became a popular destination for city residents seeking a short break by the sea during that era.
The hotel's name comes from Ryūgū-jō, the underwater palace from Japanese mythology where the sea goddess Otohime lived. Guests soaking in the thermal baths while looking out over the ocean can feel that connection directly.
The hotel is in Kisarazu, reachable from Tokyo by train in under an hour. Few staff members speak English, so it helps to prepare key questions or requests in written Japanese before arriving.
The hotel is known as a place where guests come to make marriage proposals and celebrate private events, which is not common for a spa hotel. Dedicated rooms and settings are arranged specifically for these occasions.
